Hi,
on my Ubuntu (upgraded from 8.04.1 to 8.10) after the last dist-upgrade (apt-get dist-upgrade) yesterday I get errors on cups deb package.
Code:
root@tux:~# dpkg -l cups
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Description

rW cups 1.3.9-2ubuntu3 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server
Code:
root@tux:~# apt-get clean cups
root@tux:~# dpkg --configure cups
dpkg: error processing cups (--configure):
package cups is not ready for configuration
cannot configure (current status `triggers-awaited')
Errors were encountered while processing:
cups
root@tux:~# dpkg -C
The following packages are awaiting processing of triggers that they
have activated in other packages. This processing can be requested using
dselect or dpkg --configure --pending (or dpkg --triggers-only):
cups Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server
root@tux:~# dpkg --triggers-only cups
dpkg: error processing cups (--triggers-only):
package cups is not ready for trigger processing
(current status `triggers-awaited' with no pending triggers)
Errors were encountered while processing:
cups
The last entry is interesting, cups is awaitng triggers which are not pending, isn't it? I found an bug entry for man-db which seems to suffer from the same/similar problem but the work around did not help. Reinstall (or even remove) is not wise/possible:
Code:
root@tux:~# dpkg -r cups
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of cups:
hplip depends on cups (>= 1.1.20).
ubuntu-desktop depends on cups.
kubuntu-desktop depends on cups.
cups-driver-gutenprint depends on cups (>= 1.2.5) | cups (>= 1.2.5).
cups-driver-gutenprint depends on cups (>= 1.2.5) | cups (>= 1.2.5).
hal-cups-utils depends on cups.
cups-pdf depends on cups (>= 1.1.15).
dpkg: error processing cups (--remove):
dependency problems - not removing
Errors were encountered while processing:
cups
... the hole system is replaced. Any ideas what happens here? How to solve it?
Thanks,
Olaf
